Pistons are cracking and may break causing engine to lock up....bmw has ignored this problem and continues to produce this engine and has no spare parts to fix it....something need to be done about this!!!

During a ride with my 2013 bmw k1600 gt that took place on 12/15/19, i noted problems with the manual transmission, with difficulty in shifting gears. The bike has approximately 25, 400 miles. I was able to drive back home with difficulty. Itook the motorcycle to the san diego bmw dealership to assess the problem. The attached report documents 'damage on gear dogs for 6th and 4th gear. Corners of dogs show rounding and are worn to a polished finish'. The dealer contacted bmw to order the damaged parts, but the reply was that these parts are no longer available because bmw has since modified the transmission. The only option was to replace the entire transmission at the cost of $ 5407.07. The extent of the damage, considering the relatively low mileage, was surprising. I subsequently became aware that bmw is recalling thousands of 2017-2020 k1600 gt, gtl and b modelsfortransmission problems related to production ofpartslacking the appropriate hardness level. It appears that my 2013 bike experiencedsimilar problems. Possibly, the transmission has been from the inception a weak spot as attested by bmw efforts to modify it over the years, which culminated in the above noted recall of 2017-2020 recall. It seems that other years should be recalled as well.
Transmission is noisy. The gears are worn prematurely. I have 40k miles on me 2013 k1600gt. I saw a recall for 2017+ transmissions but i believe it should be extended to prior years. Obviously it was in motion from 10mph or faster. It seems to be worse from 3rd gear and higher.
Bike requires constant counter steering pressure on the handlebars to keep it from veering sharply left into incoming traffic. It has been in for service numerous times. The dealer's service department verifies that the bike does in fact pull to the left, however bmw's field representative states that the bike is operating "as designed."
